Release date info?

[ZuperHyperZam]

Hi!
I am new to this hearts of iron series. The videos they have released are really cool like britains downfall.
But is there any release date info out (sorry if i have missed somthing)
Just really want the game but I want the game to be finished.
So please write what you people know about release date. (release this year or even next year, Q1 Q2 Q3...)
Thanks

Release date is "when its ready"

Once they reach beta status, release will be 3 - 6 months away. But until they actually do go into beta, the closest release date we have is "when its done".

No date has been confirmed but so far the bets are sometime Q3 this year, or "when its done".

No release date, sadly.

We know its in alpha and we know it was rejected for beta twice in December.

General opinion on the forums and in the community seems to be a Q3-Q4 release date.

Since you're new here and probably have not seen the no longer stickied ppst, the current release date is "TBA".

"when its ready"
Do you all think you are cool when you say that? In case of Duke Nukem "when it's done" meant 12 years.

Edit: what is TBA, and Q3?

Gives objective situation: gets downvoted. :S

Did they give reasons for why Beta was rejected?

First time they said it was the lack of tutorial and the game being too unstable (if I remember correctly), second time we don't know (possibly just a big amount of bugs).

hehe, guess whoever did that is just taking his frustration out on my post

Here is the "story" that we know this far :

- In September of last year, Johan said that they'd be in Beta by december, in this post.
- Back in November of last year, Paradox (Johan) said that they were approaching beta in DD #32.
- Then in December, Johan said that they were working like crazy to finish a new beta submission in DD #37.
- This confused people, and podcat confirmed in this post that the first application was rejected, and why.
- Johan said on Twitter during the Christmas vacation that the game was still in alpha, so the second beta submission was also rejected. I dont believe we've been told why (there might not be an easily communicative reason past "it does not meet our standards").
- Johan confirmed on January 7th that they are still in alpha in this post.

That should cover most of it i think
